If you follow the heavyweight scene and have not clocked Moses Itauma yet, you are behind. The child is only 20 years old – born on December 28, 2004 in Kežmarok, Slovakia, who is now located in Kent, UK – and he already makes seasoned Pros seems to have wandered around in the wrong ring.
Pro record: 12–0 (10 costs)
Height/reach: 6’2 ” / 78.7” reached
Weight: 239 pounds (109 kg)
Attitude: Southpot
Instructor Ben Davison
Titles: WBO Inter-continental heavyweight champion
Rankings: WBO #1, WBA #3
From amateur gold to pro fast lane
Itauma’s amateur career was spotless – 24 wins, 0 losses, 11 stops. He collected gold at schools, juniors, youth and the heavyweight world championships for youth. By 18, he signed with Queensberry Promotions and was straight with the prose.
Pro Career – Full accelerator from the first day off
Debut: Wembley Arena, January 28, 2023 – Plated Marcel Bode in 23 seconds on the Betterbiev – Yarde Sondekard. No slow start, no feeling-out process. He put himself down, slipped a shot and exploded a left hand through the guard. Over.
Two months later, Telford – Ramon Alberto Ibarra. The same result, different victim. Since then, he has been fighting more often than some belly containers, which keep the co-ratio healthy.
Biggest scalp so far? Demsey McKean in Riyadh. McKean lost only once before, but Itauma put him twice on the deck twice. Left like a sled, patience like a ten year pro.
Breakdown
-
Southpaw Print: Cut the ring without pursuing, forcing opponents where he wants them.
-
Ring IQ: Let you lead, then punish the opening.
-
Force: Short, accurate shots that do not need an excitement to end a fight.
-
Durability: “Nigerian power, Slovakian gravel” – as Itauma puts it.
-
Calm under fire: Smell blood, but don’t chase, just pull the trap.
It is the mix of physicality and fighting intelligence that makes him dangerous at any stage of a fight.
The way forward
Unbeaten. Highly arranged. Regularly fighting. ITAums made it clear – he wants Mike Tyson’s record as the latest heavyweight champion in history. If he looks at his schedule and the way he dissolves opponents, it is not out of reach.
For now, he is the opponent who wants no contender. For the future, he is a possible heading on the biggest evenings of Boxing.
